hHGEOMAI - 'esteem' without attributive

Hi B-Greekers,

When hHGEOMAI is used in the sense "to esteem" we see that it usually is
modified with an attributive, as...

Phil. 2:3 "...hHGOUMENOI hUPERECONTAS hEAUTWN"

or 1 Thess. 5:13  "hHGEISTHAI ... hUPEREKPERISSOU"


Did hHGEOMAI without an attributive word added ever (in canonical,
non-canonical or classic) have the meaning "to esteem" in the sense that
we say in English: "He was esteemed by his colleagues...", where it is
*understood* that he was "esteemed highly" ?

Thanks again!
